A Bird Orphan Asylum.

Mr.. Whitehead, of Cleveland, thus
tells how little incident of his boy
hood days, first aroused and kindled
his sympathies for the dumb and help
less: One day when went into our
wood-shed at my boyhood home, what
should see but pewee sitting up
there on a beam. Instantly missile found
its way into my hand, and threw, and
the poor little pewee fell on the ground,
dead. Remorse Immediately clutched
me. 1 climbed to the roof, and, as 1
suspected, there were two little help
less and now motherless pewees. I
could do nothing less but adopt them.
I had deprived them of their natural
protector, and now it was no more
than meet that 1 should be responsible
for them. But couldn't carry them
around in my hands or pockets. and
they would die in cage. cast about
for an orphan asylum for them. For
tunately, I found robins nest in
which the young were about the size
of my proteges. I made humane i'm
position upon the robin. mother. She
didn't mind. watched that nest
daily, and was overjoyed to see the lit
tie orphans fly .gleefully away one
summer day, and, of course, could
never identify them afterward, al
though perhaps I saw them often, but
I never met q pewee after that but
what I felt like taking off my hat to it.

selhshness and Heartlessness Exhibited
What the Saloon Does for the Poor
Man.
The saloon of the poor man is usual
ly marked by vulgar decoration or
careless squalor. 1t offers him more
warmth and better shelter, perhaps,
than he can get at home. 1t appeals
to his most selfish feelings. 1t tickles
his sef-indulgcnce. He finds there,
too, an excitement, companionship,
which are seductive. But what is the
sociability encountered at the saloonp
1t is sham, like all the alleged pleas
ure obtainable from the institution.
Saloon friendship is Dead Sea apple.
The men who strike hands with one an
other as comrades and boon companions
will stand by while one of their num-
ber goes headlong to destruction; will
observe with stolid passivity the VIC
TINS advance from one fatal symptom
to another; will register his successive
downward steps, marking in cold
blood his loss of one holdfast after an
other; and when ruin, complete and
irreversible, has concluded the drama,
they will turn away and pursue their
own affairs. The truth is that the
spirit of the saloon is incompatible
with the termination or growth of
real friendship. as it is with any good
thing. Indeed, its influences and ten
denotes are SO palpably and wholly
evil that any nation voluntarily adopt
ing such an institution, and accepting
1t as part of the fixed order of things,
could hardly escape Manicheism but
for that curious aptitude of the aver
age human mind to separate religious
beliefs from everyday experiences.
The lowering influences of the saloon
react directly and with energy upon the
poorest classes. The abuse of drink does
not necessarily or Immediately involve
personal degradation or personal priva-
ton among such as possess some prop
erty. But with those for whom sus-
tanned sobriety can procure only mar
row suffi cheney, intemperance means
swift descent into discomfort and suffer-
ing. The poor man can not drink with
out falling behind in every thing. The
saloon not only deprives him of reason
and the full use of his faculties. itdrives
him to the pawnshop with his few pos
sessions; it strips him, his wife and his
children of the clothing they need; it
bares the walls of his poor rooms; it
makes all his material surroundings
meaner and shabbier, at the same time
that it implants distaste for the steady
industry which is the one means of re-
demption.-George Frederic Parsons. in
atlantic Monthly.

what Rum Really Does for the Poor Man
and ffle Family.


what Rum Really Does for the Poor Man
and Hls Family.
Let us begin st the foundation, aud
trace the saloon through society. The
first fact to be noted it that the institu-
ton is planted most thickly where the
poorest people live. It has been alleged
by some philanthropists and penalogists
that poverty is in many instances the
cause Of drinking, and not the effect;
that men drink to forget their sorrows
and remember their misery no more.
No doubt there is some truth in this. In
digence, squalor, destitution, innutri-
ton, produce morbid conditions of body
and mind, probably reinforce inhc4ited
tendencies to alcoholism, and move to
that desperation which seeks relief in
the oblivion either of death or drunk
enness. But, however true such con-
siderations may be, they can not affect
the obvious fact that the influence of
the saloon among the poor is wholly
mischievous Even with those whose
case is almost desperate the effect of
resorting to this means Of forgetfulness
is pernicious. The man who browns
memory at the saloon does not facili-
tate his subsequent proceedings. He
is poorer, in worse health, less able
to confront difficulties on the NOR
row. But one tendency in him is
strengthened, and that is the ten
dency to repeat the debauch.
The poor man who, being n husband
and father, frequents the saloon runs
the risk of betraying his most sacred
trusts. His home may be uncomfort-
able, his meals may be unsavory, but
the saloon can not improve his sur
roundings. On the contrary it absorbs
his scanty earnings, thus depriving
those dependent on him of the pit
tance of food and clothing he alone
is able to supply. The drinking hus-
band. too, often makes q drinking
wife. For the women among the poor
have most need of all the moral sup.
port their husbands, fathers, brothers,
can bring them. Being physically
weaker, they are more liable to faint
under the heat and burden of the day
and when they see the man who should
be their staff and prop cravenly giving
away to despair and selfishly seeking
oblivion for himself, they are apt to
succumb to the pressure and to follow
the evil example.
Then the fate of the children is gen
orally sealed. The saloon has ophaned
them. It will be henceforward theil
school and training ground. 1t will
bring them up to be petty thieves, while
they are developing the muscle that i.

when they are old enough they vii

A Young Inventor.

Carlyle says that you can tell how .
man would do any thing from the way
he sings. However this may be, it is
certainly true in nine cases out Of ten
that you can tell what sort of a man a
boy will make from seeing him at play,
when obliged to stay indoors, without
a companion. Sir william Armstrong,
the artillery engineer, was delicate
boy, and one winter, when six years
old, was confined to the house for
months. To amuse himself, he set sew
eral old spinning-wheels in motion by
means Of weights descending on strings
from top to bottom of the house over
the staircase ratings. Friends and
relatives bought mechanical toys for
the little prisoner, which he at once
pulled to pieces. They attributed the
habit to child's passion for destroy
ing things, not supposing that the little
six-year-old was bent on discovering
their construction. 1t was not salts
factory to him to see "Jack" jump up
in the box when the lid was raised; he
would know what made "Jack" spring
up.
The boy passed into young manhood,
and his father, seeing nothing extraor-
dinary in his sons mechanical gifts,
put him into a lawyers office, where
he remained, as student and junior
partner, for more than thirteen years.
One day, while casting fish-line near
rustic mill, the water-wheel attracted
his attention, because It was fed by a
rill above, which descended from a
height of nearly hundred feet. See
ing that only twenty feet of the descent
were utilized, he pondered the ques-
ton: "Why not use the whole descent
of the stream as motive power?"
A swinging lamp in church sug.
gested to Galileo the pendulum as a
means of measuring time, and the
young lawyer saw in the descending
rill power for hydraulic crane. He
invented one, and it attracted the at.
tcntion of leading engineers. The new
crane, however, met with strong oppo
sition. Mr.. Hartley, the engineer Of
the Liverpool Docks, poo-poohed at II
for long time, refusing to examine it
